Preview: Meryl Donoghue’s “I Thought to Have Been Gone by Now…” at StolenSpace

On September 6, Meryl Donoghue will reveal her solo show “I Thought to Have Been Gone by Now…” at London’s StolenSpace. A culmination of an installation that uses sound and animatronics, drawings and photographic prints, Donoghue’s multifaceted work will transform the gallery into a quietly haunting space. Donoghue’s works evoke a surreal permutation of the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault. Like the early versions of the Disney-fied tales we know today, her art is marked by a dark ambiance and macabre elements carried out through the theatricality of the work’s presentation. Take a look at our sneak peek of the digital artworks in “I Thought to Have Been Gone by Now…” as well as a video of an earlier rendition of the moving installation of the same title.
